Spellbinders - JustRite Stampers - Winter Wonder Layout - Happy New Year 2011!!

Hello! Today, I have a wintery layout to share with you. The past few days the trees have been covered with a beautiful crystal frost. It looks almost like everything was sprinkles with sugar--LOL!I started with a piece of My Mind's Eye paper from the Meadow lark Collection. Here is the before shot of the paper.This is the after shot. I added Waterslide Glimmer Mist and Cotton Candy Chalk. Then I used baby blue stickles for the flowers and glitter on the leaves. I love how this turned out and it totally changed the look of the paper.Next I stamped the sentiment from JB-09800 Nature's Nested Sentiments from JustRite Stampers with Tuxedo Black ink on to Simply Smooth cardstock. Then I used the Grand Calibur™ and S5-025 Labels Seventeen die #2 from Spellbinders™ to cut/emboss the diecuts. The JB-09800 Nature's Nested Sentiments includes 8 beautiful sentiments. Here is a close up of the sentiment. I added blue rhinestones and pink crinkle seam binding to the top of the layout.Here is a close up of the snowflakes. I used the Grand Calibur™ and S4-286 2010 Snowflake Pendants (small snowflake) to cut/emboss the diecuts. I used White Iris Shimmer Sheetz from Elizabeth Craft Designs for the snowflakes and then I added blue rhinestones. On one of the snowflakes I added a Sparkle Burst Brad from Karen Foster. To create the diecuts for the photo and the mat I used the Grand Calibur™ and LF-190 Grand Labels Four dies #2, #3. This photo is at a different angle so you can see all the glimmer and sparkle from the Glimmer Mist, Stickles and Glitter.

Crafty Secrets Design Team Calendar Challenge

Good Morning! Today is the Crafty Secrets monthly Design Team Challenge and for December our challenge was to create something with a calendar or a calendar theme. I decided to create a calendar for January and what better way to start off the year with something I love--ART! I had so much fun creating the January calendar! I used three stamp sets from Crafty Secrets Artsy Banner, Art Studio and Calendar. I know there is just a little pop of pink for the color but my favorite combination is the ivory, browns and black. To start I made a label diecut using the Grand Calibur™ from Spellbinders™ and LF-190 Grand Labels Four die #5. I used Artsy Banner and Art Studio stamp sets from Crafty Secrets to create a background collage. I used Simply Smooth Ivory cardstock with Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa, Vintage Photo and Brushed Corduroy inks.Next using the Calendar stamp set from Crafty Secrets I created the calendar for the month of January. The great thing about the Calendar stamp set is that the numbers are all individual stamps so you can custom create your calendars. I used S4-295 Lacey Squares die #5 from Spellbinders™ to create the diecut. I also created an ART banner using stamps from the Artsy Banner stamp set.Here is a close up of the calendar. For the numbers I used Rich Cocoa ink and I used Vintage Photo to ink around the edges for the lacey square diecut. I added a fancy corner accent, buttons, a crochet flower and pearls. To add a little dimension I used 3D Foam Squares on the calendar.Here is a close up of the ART banner.I added wings, brushed with gold glitter to the ART banner. To create the wings I used the Grand Calibur™ from Spellbinders™ and S4-299 Fallen Angel. I also added a ribbon rose (click HERE for the tutorial) and pearls.I added some swirly pearls. I love this quote and the stamp fits perfectly on the label for the tube of paint!
